Caterpillar backhoes have been on the market since 1985. In fact, only two years ago they celebrating 20 years of Caterpillar backhoes, and marking their milestone in the construction industry. In fact, it has shipped over 150,000 backhoes, since its first creation.

It is no secret that the backhoe is continually going under new innovations, especially as it relates to hydraulic powered attachments. Caterpillar has often led the way with these innovations. In fact, it was a pioneer in load sensing hydraulic system technology, and continues to strive for improvements in operator comfort, cab visibility as well as productivity.

One of the best benefits that operators like about Caterpillar is that it has a wide line of different equipment. This is advantageous not only to the consumer, but for Caterpillar themselves. They're able to take technology from one of their products, and place it on to another product. This is what has led to many Caterpillar backhoe innovations over the years.

For example, it was their break through in load sensing hydraulics that help them lead the way in designing a new type of backhoe. What load sensing hydraulics does is automatically adjusts to the requirements of the machine, to give the operator one of the best benefits known for construction equipment -- savings of fuel.

In 1992, a day made innovations to its main model by offering a B series. This series sported an increase 40% hydraulic horsepower, making productivity and precision easier and better than ever. They debuted 4 of these models in this series.
